Yu Youniang only discovered at the age of five that her mother was actually the true daughter of the Yong'an Marquis Estate, who had been separated from them for over twenty years.
The da...
Chapter 130 What kind of meal costs five hundred taels?
General Wanyan took the Xiliang delegation away.
Even from a distance away, laughter could be heard.
Hearing this arrogant laughter, everyone's faces turned very ugly.
The emperor was about to speak when he saw Lord Gou of Nanzhao Kingdom hurried over and bowed deeply to Yu Youning, "Little Miracle Doctor! Please help me!"
Yu Youning turned around and looked, "Help? Whose life? Aren't you fine?"
"It's not about saving my life, it's about the five people from Nanzhao who are participating in this competition. They are all seriously injured. Please, little doctor, save their lives."
Yu Youning did not answer, but looked at the emperor.
The emperor was very pleased.
Although Yu Youning is young, he still knows his limits!
Before saving people from other countries, he knew to ask for his opinion as the emperor.
Dayong and Nanzhao originally had a cooperative relationship, so it was not impossible to save people.
But, I can't promise too easily...
"Master Gou, you just saw it. In order to save these five people, You Ning took out the secret medicine from Medicine King Valley. This secret medicine is very precious and worth a fortune. You still have five people over there, so..."
The emperor is clearly taking advantage of the situation.
But at this time, even though Lord Gou knew that the emperor was taking advantage of the situation, he could only accept it.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, I won't let the little genius doctor save lives in vain. Nanzhao will definitely reward him!
Ten thousand taels of gold per person!
As long as the little genius doctor can save the five of them, Nanzhao is willing to give 50,000 taels of gold!"
Fifty thousand taels of gold is equivalent to five hundred thousand taels of silver.
For an emperor, 500,000 taels of silver is naturally nothing.
But it’s all for nothing!
In this world, getting something for free is the happiest thing!
The emperor was already very satisfied, but he still deliberately asked Yu Youning, "Youning, do you think it's okay?"
Yu Youning blinked her big eyes, "Your Majesty, do you think this is okay?"
When the emperor heard this, his old face instantly turned red.
Although it was somewhat embarrassing, the emperor did not blame Yu Youning at all.
Youning is still young!
It's very good that you can ask his opinion before agreeing to treat the patient. You can't ask for too much!
The emperor coughed lightly and said, "I think it should be OK!"
Yu Youning nodded and said seriously, "Yes, that's fine."
Lord Gou only felt a mouthful of blood blocked in his chest, which he could neither spit out nor swallow.
The dignified Emperor of the Great Yong actually colluded with a five-year-old girl to extort money from Nanzhao!
But unfortunately, I still need their help, so I have to agree.
Lord Gou took a deep breath and said, "In that case, I'll trouble the little doctor."
Yu Youning stretched out her small hand, her white and tender palm facing upwards. "Where's the gold?"
When she was three years old, she knew not to accept the promises made by others!
"Little Doctor, I can't carry so much gold with me. When I get back, I'll have someone prepare some banknotes and send them to the Wen Mansion, okay?"
"Send it straight to... wooo!"
Before Yu Youning could finish his words, Yu Tingwan, who walked over quickly, covered his mouth with his hands.
Yu Tingwan smiled at Lord Gou and said, "Okay, thank you for your help, sir!"
Before he could finish his words, Yu Youning looked at Yu Tingwan strangely.
After being given a reproachful look by Yu Tingwan, he nodded his head and said, "Okay, then give it to me!"
"Youning." Yu Tingwan gently patted Yu Youning's shoulder, "Go and save them!"
"Oh, okay!"
Seeing Yu Youning going to rescue people, Yu Tingwan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it was stopped in time!
Otherwise, if Yu Youning said "send him directly to the palace", the emperor would be too embarrassed!
Even though everyone present knew this, they couldn't say it out loud!
Saving people was already a piece of cake for Yu Youning. He quickly treated the five people and prescribed a prescription for each of them.
All in all, it took less than a quarter of an hour.
Seeing this, one of the Nanzhao envoys felt a little indignant.
"It took less than a quarter of an hour, and they asked for fifty thousand taels of gold. That's simply asking for too much. It's too much."
Upon hearing this, the emperor's expression immediately turned cold, and he looked directly at Lord Gou, "What? Lord Gou, are you going to go back on your word? Do you think you've already crossed the river and are you going to burn the bridge?"
Lord Gou glared fiercely at the man who had spoken, bowed to the emperor, and smiled. "Your Majesty, please don't be offended. He's not thinking straight, and what he said is nonsense. The little doctor saves people based on his skills, not time. As long as he can save a life, whether it takes a quarter of an hour or ten quarters of an hour, it's the little doctor's job. As long as he can save a life, we should keep our promise."
Although Lord Gou's surname is Gou, his words sound like those of a human.
The emperor's expression eased slightly, but only slightly.
"Since Lord Gou understands everything, I don't think there's any need for others to constantly remind me about sending gold. I'll return to the palace."
When the emperor left, other officials naturally followed suit.
As for the five injured people, they were taken back by their families.
"Don't worry, little doctor. When we get back later, we'll immediately send someone to deliver the banknotes to your house. We'll leave first."
Lord Gou left with the Nanzhao envoys. Wei Zhao walked over to Yu Youning and said softly, "Youning, I'll go back and take a look. I'll come to your house to look for you this afternoon."
"OK!"
As soon as Wei Zhao left, Prime Minister Wen came over.
"Thank you, Youning, for saving Xiangli twice."
As Prime Minister Wen said this, he bowed deeply to Yu Youning.
Marshal Wen was also there. Seeing this, he quickly waved his hand and said, "Prime Minister Wen is too polite."
Prime Minister Wen slowly straightened up. "This is as it should be. I only have one child, Xiangli, and Youning has saved him twice in a row. I really should thank Youning."
Yu Youning smiled, "Don't be so polite. I'm a doctor, and it's my duty to heal illnesses and save lives."
He paused, thinking about what had just happened, and added another sentence.
"It's only right to collect money."
Prime Minister Wen curled his lips and smiled gently, "Indeed, it's as he should be. Once the gift is ready, I'll have him deliver the medical fee in person."
In this way, Wen Xiangli can spend more time with Yu Youning!
Prime Minister Wen left with Wen Xiangli, who was still in a coma. Only Yu Youning, Yu Tingwan, and Marshal Wen were left.
"Youning!" Marshal Wen called out with a smile, bent down, held the person in his arms, and lifted him up.
"Youning! Have you not eaten well these days? Why does Grandfather think you are too light and want some more?"
Yu Youning nodded quickly, "Yes, yes! Grandfather, you are right! I have been busy every day these days and haven't had a good meal!"
Upon hearing this, Marshal Wen was immediately distressed. "No matter how busy you are, you can't not eat! Youning, you are still a child, growing up, how can you not eat well?
Come on, come on, Grandpa will take you to eat! Which restaurant do you want to eat at?"
Yu Youning waved his fingers, "Grandfather, I want to eat at every restaurant."
This made Marshal Wen laugh again, "Okay! As long as Youning wants to eat, let's eat!"
Yu Youning also didn't forget Yu Tingwan. She was carried forward by Marshal Wen and kept waving to Yu Tingwan, "Mom, mom! Come on! Let's go eat together!"
Yu Tingwan laughed and shook his head, then followed.
These days, she delivered food to Yu Youning three meals a day, two snacks, and one midnight snack.
Yu Youning actually said that she didn’t eat properly!
For Youning, as long as she doesn’t eat all the time, it means she hasn’t eaten well. She has gotten used to it over the years.
The three of them took a carriage and soon arrived at Jinzun Pavilion.
Jinzun Pavilion is the most luxurious restaurant in the capital, and most of the guests are dignitaries.
Not only is the decoration nice, the service is good, but the food is also delicious.
Yu Youning and Chu Huaixu had been here before and spent five hundred taels of silver on a meal.
Of course, the main reason is that Yu Youning is a big eater.
Yu Youning also knew that a meal cost five hundred taels of silver, which was quite a lot of money.
So as soon as he arrived at the private room upstairs, Yu Youning looked eagerly at Marshal Wen, "Grandfather, do you have enough silver? The food here is expensive!"
Marshal Wen immediately patted his pouch and said, "Eat with confidence! Eat as much as you want! Eat as much as you want! How could Grandfather not have money to pay the bill? That's impossible!"
"Since Grandfather has said so, I feel relieved!"
Yu Youning looked at the waiter and said, "Serve all the dishes in your restaurant first! Then serve the signature dishes separately."
The waiter looked at Yu Youning as if he were looking at the God of Wealth, "Miss, you're here again! I was just wondering when you'd come again! And now you're here! Please come in!"
The waiter happily left, and Marshal Wen realized something was wrong. "Youning, how does this waiter know you?"
"Because I've been here before! The prince brought me here!"
"I see!" Marshal Wen nodded. "Then how much silver did you spend on your last meal?"
"Five hundred taels."
"Five hundred taels?"
Marshal Wen only knew that he was sitting, otherwise he would have fallen to the ground.
This is simply a shady shop!
What kind of meal costs five hundred taels?
Yu Tingwan was a little embarrassed, "Father, I also brought silver..."
"No need!" Marshal Wen immediately waved his hand, "I have it! I'll pay for it!"
He said he wanted to take his granddaughter to eat delicious food, so how could he let his daughter-in-law pay for it?
Then what kind of person has he become?
Soon, the dishes were served one by one, and soon the table was full.
Seeing that Yu Youning was enjoying his meal, Marshal Wen was also very happy.
But when he touched his purse, he felt a little worried.
He usually didn't care much about how much money was in his purse. Although he had some banknotes, he didn't know if it was enough...
Thinking of this, Marshal Wen stood up and said, "Youning, listen to the evening, you guys eat first, I'll be back soon!"
Yu Youning raised his head from the delicious food, "Grandfather, where are you going? You have to come back soon! Otherwise, I will eat all the delicious food!"
"It's okay, just eat as much as you can. If you don't have enough, order more! Grandpa will be back soon!"
He wanted to find a deserted place to see how much silver he had brought with him!
